message and it will come from the Participant! The partici ae
you are performing on will never know this message has tees
sent from their phone (which is perfect for what we want).
(If you are wanting to perform this routine, one thing that I
have said all the way through this booklet is when performing
time is of the essence. Ensure that the answer you wrote on
the billet for this participant is short, one sentence short. So
when it comes to typing the same message on the phone it
takes only a second. Thinking about the little details like this
are what separates the workers from the thinkers.)
Now the message is sent, address the Participant that sent the
message to his friend.
“Want to try something strange?”
Of course they will say yes.
“Look at the answer that I wrote down to that question, at

them before they ask, if they haven't already asked. Imagine

Breached using the native text
message service
There are a couple of ways to perform this routine using the
text message service on the phone (so it is not restricted to just
VhatsApp) I am going to outline two methods one for IPhone
and one for Samsung.
The iPhone version is slightly more glamorous than the
Samsung version but both will get the job done perfectly if you
want to use the text message service instead of WhatsApp.
IPhone text version of breached
This is naughty, go to “Settings”, then “messages” and click
“send and receive” click the participants Apple ID and then
sign out. Sign in with your Apple Id and it will send a
verification code to your phone (this in writing sounds longe'
than it is in actual performance). Type in this code you receive

Samsung/Android workaround
(works for iPhone too)
The Samsung work around gets the job done, this I have used
and it works amazingly and is quick. It is quite similar to the
“Call me” method also outlined in this booklet. Take the
participant's phone and go into the participant’s contacts cli¢

“Add phone” feature on the IPhone and simply delete or
number after the performance (leaving the participant’s friend's
number still there). Another thing that I do if I feel I have time
is when I am deleting my own number and text thread from the
participants phone, I simply message whatever word I received
on my phone to the actual contact the participant selected. 1
then hand the phone back and then direct the participant to
put the phone away. I then perform something else putting a
time delay between the phone being used and them checking it
again. That way the slight (only a minute or so) discrepancy of
when the text was sent is completely lost in the performance
and the participant can call their friend after and all the
realities will line up. Simple!
As you can see there are simple solutions to achieve the same
effect on multiple platforms on the phone.

Getting the password is really that simple,
You might notice that very, very occasionally there is
“Accounts and Passwords” section in the phone, this is beeaune
the phone is not updated. In this instance it will still work,
scroll down to “Safari” instead and then click “Passwords” and
enter as above.
You might at this point be thinking at this point “I need the
phones code to get into this option”. You are right, there are
two simple options I use to get the code from the participant’s
phone. One is to ask the participant in performance to go to
their calculator, type in the code to the phone and show it to
their friends. Ask them to press the home button (the big one
on the front of the phone) and then lock the phone. I ask them
to polish the screen to get rid of the finger prints and hand over
the phone.
I do this while I say “There is no way I could know the code
right?”
I simply swipe up from the bottom of the phone and a menu
will come up where I can click the calculator. The calculator
will open whilst the phone is locked and you will openly be able
to see the code! Press the home button and the phone will go
back to the screen saver. You now know the code and can
unlock the phone as you see fit. If the phone is the iPhone X
then you slide down from the top right hand corner of the
screen and then click the calculator button as you would if it the code,

thing that I always worried about when performing CALendet
was when the Participant pressed the erase button more than
once and there was no way to recall the pin code. By asking the
participant to “TAP” the erase key it conditions them to press it —
once before it comes to tapping the erase key.
Another way to get the code is to just ask. Simply say “What is
the code to the phone?”
This is such a great question, you will get one of two answers —
